I went with a more CAS look for my card and I love it! I let my cute little elf be the center of attention here. Isn't he the cutest!! I colored him with my Copics and added some Diamond Stickles to his hat.

I embossed my background with Sizzix Lines and Dots embossing folder and added some Washi Tape. To finish off my card, I added some Twinery Baker's Twine in Pea Pod and topped it with a brad.

I made a treat box / bag . I purchased this svg file from Lori Whitlock and cut from some older K&Company paper I had in my stash. I cut a circle and scallop from the Gypsy Wanderings Cricut download that was on my Gypsy. I ran the circle through my Cuttlebug with the snowflakes embossing folder.

My cute little snowman cupcake is from PK-1328 Yummies! set. I colored him with my Copic markers and added some Diamond Stickles to his hat/frosting.

To finish of my treat container, I added some felt snowflakes and gems I had in my stash.

Today I am sharing a card that I created with the new Scrappy Moms Stamps July Release!

I created this card for my nephew who was turning 13. I wanted to make sure it was not cutsie and that it was more masculine in nature. I started with a Kraft base and cut another layer 1/4" smaller. This layer was run through the Cuttlebug with the Diamond Plate embossing folder.

I used patterned paper from Echo Park's A Boy's Life. The number 13 was cut from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge. I cut it out 3 times in Kraft and once in the patterned paper so it would have a chipboard look to it. It was then layered onto a circle and gear shape that I cut from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge. Everything was inked with Ranger Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.

I created a cupcake holder and topper for your inspiration today.

I cut a strip of red cardstock at 2" x 12" and scored it 3 times at 2.75' from last score line. I stamped each section with PK-188 Brick Wall Background Stamp. I added some snow using a cut from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge. The snow was covered with Diamond Stickles.

The Santa, also came from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge. I stamped his face with PK-1320 In the Garden Face Assortment. His beard was dry embossed with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder.

My patterned paper is from Echo Park "Times and Seasons."This particular pattern is called "Trinkets."I inked the edges with Ranger distress ink. Brads were added from Echo Park This & That and I added a resin flower from my stash. I, also, added a small piece of Velcro to the flap to keep it closed.

As you may know Peachy Keen Stamps is celebrating Christmas in July! So, I thought it would be fun to create a card using some older Peachy Keen Stamps.

This card was created withPK-327 Winter Peekers & Phrases. I stamped this cute gingerbread boy on some Kraft cardstock and paper pieced his scarf. I used a white gel pen to color in the icing and topped it with some glossy accents.

I thought he would look perfect peeking over PK- 188 Brick Wall that was stamped on some red cardstock. I added some snow to the top and sprinkled it with some glitter before it dried.

The wreath was created with a Martha Stewart Branch Punch. I added a few sequins for decoration.

The background paper was stamped and heat embossed with a snowflake from PK-148 Snow Gifts. to finish the card, I added a sentiment from PK-859 Christmas Greetings Words. I love this set! You can mix and match the phrases to create numerous greetings. A must have, in my opinion!

If you haven't heard yet it is Christmas in July at Peachy Keen Stamps!

This month's release is all things Christmas.

For my peek I used one of the add on sets that coordinate with the July Stamp of the Month.

I decided to cover and decorate a notebook. I thought this would be perfect to use for Christmas lists or cookie recipes.

I covered the cover of the note pad with patterned paper and then added my decorations. I choose these cute PK-1326 Gingerbread Two Part Cookie Stamps . I stamped the cookie on Kraft cardstock them stamped the icing with embossing ink and added white embossing powder.

I colored in the hearts with Copic marker and then covered them with Glossy Accents as well as the eyes.

The holly and sentiment come from PKSC-19 July 2013 Stamp of the Month. I stamped the sentiment on a shape that I cut from Lacy Labels Cricut cartridge.

To finish off the note pad I tied the binding with red and green ribbon.

Here is a closer look at the gingerbread.

There plenty of sneak peeks to feast your eyes on over on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog tonight as wells the next 2 nights.

It all leads up to our Release Party on The Peachy Keen Connection on July 5th at 6 p.m. CDT. Join our event page on Facebook and let us know you'll be coming to the party!! We'll be chatting with the design team, playing games, sharing challenges, and of course we'll be giving away some prizes, too!

Today is the start of another Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at Scrappy Moms Stamps.

The challenge:

Red,White, and Blue

Here is what I created:

I just love this silhouette from A Child's Year Cricut cartridge! I had never used it so I thought this was the perfect time.

For my card I started with a scalloped square base that I cut from Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge. I ran the from through my Cuttlebug and embossed it with the Swiss Dots folder. I then layered it with a blue mat and some patterned paper from K&Company.

It's a bit on the subtle side but I embossed the patterned paper with a Sizzix embossing folder called "Stars and Swirls." I popped my image with pop dots and added some Air Mail Baker's Twine and a button from my stash.
